Spring Fair Arrives

With Homewood's Garland Field under construction, the sights, sounds and delicious smells associated with Spring Fair had to find new homes this year. But, like pied pipers, they brought out the crowds, who followed them to their roosts on the freshman quad, Keyser Quad, the Beach and near Whitehead Hall. As in past years, the 35th annual student-run fair opened at noon on Friday, and faculty, staff and students were on hand to check out the craft vendors and carnival rides and to dig into the grilled sausages, funnel cakes, fried dough and smoothies. Also planned for the three-day event — which typically draws 100,000 visitors from all over the area — were a Dr. Seuss-themed children's section, a photography contest, daytime entertainment on two stages, a beer garden and a Saturday night performance by the punk-pop band Brand New.
